Copy of Explanatory Notice
THIS IS AN EXPLANATORY STATEMENT AND DOES NOT FORM PART OF THE ORDER. Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Definitive Map Modification Order Public footpaths, bridleways and byways open to all traffic are recorded on definitive maps and statements. These maps and statements provide conclusive legal evidence of the existence of public rights. Suffolk County Council is responsible for the definitive map and statement and has a duty to amend them when evidence suggests that they are inaccurate or incomplete. Such amendments are made by means of modification orders made under section 53 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. These orders do not come into effect until confirmed: if there are any objections the County Council must refer the order and objections to the department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in Bristol. The Council has been directed by the secretary of State to make a modification order under Section 53 to upgrade part of FP15 Kessingland. The order was originally advertised in April 2005, but due to technical problems it is considered necessary to re-advertise the order. This order simply recognises the public rights that the authority believes exist: the order does not create any public rights. The evidence which County Council has considered may be consulted free of charge during normal office hours at the relevant Record Office. Please note that the items will need to be ordered separately.

Objections or representations relating to the order must be made in writing by 16 November 2005 to the Head of Legal Services at Endeavour House, 8 Russell Road, Ipswich, IP1 2BX.Please note that it is not necessary to re-submit any objection already made. To be relevant, objections or representations should relate to the question of the existence of status of rights of way: other objections or representations (e.g. relating to privacy, security or amenity) are irrelevant to the evidential list. The Council is willing to discuss the concerns of those considering objecting or making representations relating to the order, and you may contact Mrs J Stevenson at the above address. Tel No 01473264762. The right of objection to an order is a statutory right, but it should be exercised in a reasonable manner, The costs involved in dealing with objections to orders are normally awarded against objectors only in cases of unreasonable behaviour. As the County Council received objections to the order when it was originally advertised, the Council must refer the order and objections to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The department will appoint an independent Inspector to consider the order and hear the objections, normally by holding a public enquiry. The Inspector may confirm the order, with or without modifications, or may decide that the order should not be confirmed.
